THE LUCKY BUCKS

Posted in Americana, Country tagged , , , at 7:37 am by Mike

The Lucky Bucks are on the verge. The new trio is made up of brothers Matt and Andy Thompson with lead singer Jay Clementi. Although Clementi is the front man, the two brothers can also deliver fantastic vocals as witnessed in their two former creations – The Thompson Brothers and The Massacoustics. Both acts are also two favorites of The Music Advisory and THIS CD is still one of TMA’s all time favorites. Each Thompson incarnation could easily be featured here, but we thought best to share their latest musical evolution.

The Lucky Bucks were in the studio for a while with producer Radney Foster and you can get a taste of what they cooked up on their MySpace site and on YouTube. One of the videos is below.

This is an extremely talented group of guys. Jay has prime vocals, Matt can own the drums and bass (at the same time!) and Andy blazes on lead guitar. Together they have a sound that must be heard and a show that needs to be seen live.

Word has it that the guys lost their major label deal at Warner Brothers after being courted by them and Sony/BMG. This even before a debut single was released to radio. Another story coming out of Music Row that doesn’t make any sense, but The Music Advisory expects their luck to change for the better and that we will be hearing more exciting offerings from The Lucky Bucks.
